Help! A grade has been manually overridden and now Moodle isn’t calculating grades properly.

WARNING: Do NOT use the Moodle gradebook in more than one window at a time or your grades may be manually overridden. This might also happen if you hit the ‘refresh’ button while in the gradebook with editing turned on.

If you manually override a calculated grade, Moodle will no longer compute those grades for you again, so if you want to revert to the calculated grade once again, you need to do a few steps to completely erase that over-ridden grade. NOTE: over-ridden grades will be in a yellow box as shown below.

First go to your gradebook in the Grader Report and turn editing on. Then scroll over to the box that is yellow and click on the ‘edit’ icon that looks like a small paper/pencil as shown below.

This will bring up a grade-editing page. Here you will need to do TWO things to completely erase the manual grade.

First UNCHECK the overridden grade box.

Click the ‘SAVE CHANGES button.

Now when you go back to your gradebook, that box should no longer be yellow and it should revert to the calculated grade. The box should revert to its normal color and not be yellow.
